I N S P I R E D B Y A N E M P I R EThe essence of ancient Roman architecture lives on the floors and walls of their magnificent buildings. The Romans made a strikingly beautiful and elongated brick that complimented the grandeur of their empire. The design of the Roman Maximus was inspired by this brick. Today, architects and designers are increasingly looking to use more unusual and distinctive brick sizes. With a length longer than any brick made in North America, the Roman Maximus evokes feelings of sophistication, exclusivity, and prestige that Romans likely felt over 2000 years ago.

Built with the popular Flint Hills color, this Chicago home was recently featured in Architectural Record. The Roman Maximus offers designers endless sculptural capabilities. Interior screen walls and soldier coursing are enhanced architecturally by this elongated brick. The protruding brick details on the exterior walls cast dynamic shadows during the day.

PAC K AG I N G D E TA I L SRoman Maximus brick measure 3 5/8” x 1 5/8” x 23 5/8” and lay 3 brick per square feet. Each pallet is 4’ wide and 2’ deep, contains approximately 224 brick, and is 75 square feet. Roman Maximus is a solid unit that weighs 11.5 lbs per brick. The brick conforms to ASTM Specifications C-216 Grade SW Type FBA. In order to facilitate a Sicilian bond pattern, where no header joints align, the packages include 15% random lengths (4”, 6”, 8” 16”, 18”, 20”)and 15% Roman size (3 5/8” x 1 5/8” x 11 5/8”) brick for use on corners when covered headers are needed. There are many bond patterns that may be used successfully as long as the vertical joints do not continue through multiple courses. However, a Sicilian bond pattern, as illustrated, helps to emphasize the linear aspect of this unique brick.
